I currently own a black blob eye 2005 wrx with some tasteful mods running at 270bhp. The cars has only got 23k on it and is like new.

A friend owns a p1 and I've had uk2000's before along time ago and recently I've seen a jdm sti 4door come up for sale at a simlar price to mine version 5 full respray same colour and new engine build still needs running in etc

Just wanting people's opinions would they change as I've never driven a sti v5 or just stick with the wrx.

I've enough for a new age sti but would like some spare cash for potential repairs wear tear and still got a family to keep and a home to run.

thanks

 

no one can answer that really, drive both , pick which you prefer.

Newage will be heavier and slightly more refined.
Classic will be lighter but potentially show its age more, def more raw drive tho.

 

Thanks for the reply they both have equal strengths and negatives jeeeee

 

If I had to pick one I would go for the classic, more fun, quicker and a better driving experience.

 

A lot of people saying they are raw

 

Depends if you're after a weekend car or a daily drive and family transport.
The sti has potential to be an awesome weekend blast but may get tiresome at 7am in traffic. But if you've got a good cross country commute you may turn up every day grinning like a loon.
If I didn't have family to transport (or a family with a higher tolerance of noise and speed) I'd definitely go for the sti.
